Basketball (and Other Things): A Collection of Questions

Pivotal and ridiculous questions from basketball history, providing arguments and answers, explained with wit and wisdom

BASKETBALL (AND OTHER THINGS) presents readers with a set of pivotal and ridiculous questions from basketball history, providing arguments and answers, explained with the wit and wisdom that is unique to Shea Serrano. Serrano breaks down debates that NBA fans didn't even know they needed, from the authoritative (Which NBA championship was the most important to the league?) to the fantastical (If you could assign different values to different shots throughout basketball history, what would they be and why?), with tangents and footnotes laser-ing out in all different directions, because that's how talking about basketball works, because that's how basketball works.

With incredible art from Arturo Torres, this book is a must-have for anyone who has ever stayed up late into the night debating basketball's greatest moments, what-ifs, stories, and legends, or for those who are discovering the mythology of basketball for the first time.

Amazon Review

If you love, like, or even have a passing interest in the NBA, then this book is for you. Shea Serrano combines a charming writing style, creative (sometimes wacky) ideas, and statistical analysis to create an essential reading experience for when you are taking a dump. Bravo, Shea!
